Extraordinary Sailing

Leopold Town Hall, drawing room.

Coming here again after a year, Aiwen's mood is completely different from the first time he met the Viscount.

Be led here by the lord himself.

Aiwen even had the leisure to appreciate the furnishings of the living room. Leaving aside the expensive furniture and oil paintings on the wall, a weapon rack placed in a corner of the room was filled with lances, shields, and swords, showing the Viscount’s family all the time. The fact of being a martial noble.

And all of this, when Ivan came here for the first time, he didn't even notice it at all

In the living room, Ivan re-saw Viscount Andrea who had been away for a year.

"Good day! Your Excellency the Viscount!"

"Welcome home, Captain Ivan!"

After greeting, Aiwen sat in the guest's seat, staring at the old man in aristocratic dress opposite, and suddenly found that different from other friends, the changes were subtle, and the viscount was obviously much older than a year ago.

Although the sitting posture is still majestic, upright, and rigid, it is far from the deep sense of oppression that it was a year ago.

"As an experienced old man, when I saw your eyes a year ago, I felt that sooner or later you would win your merits and honor.

Unexpectedly, in just one year, you have not only successfully advanced to Transcendence, but even sat on the position of captain of a sixth-tier ship!

Old, really old. I can't see through the depth of young people now. "

Looking at the handsome young naval officer in front of him, the Viscount seemed to sigh with emotion.

Opposite him, Aiwen's vision was as different as before, and he had already seen that His Excellency the Viscount was just an ordinary formal knight.

At least on the extraordinary level, I had to look up to myself a year ago, but now I can look down lightly.

For the knight road, the brutalization of their bodies allowed them to obtain physical fitness far beyond ordinary people, but the speed of consumption also accelerated simultaneously. Even if the extraordinary transformation is completed, the life span of one increase and one decrease will actually not be much longer than ordinary people.

It's just that the body is healthier and stronger, and it is far from being able to transcend birth, old age, illness and death.

This is the case with Ivan's Garrett family.

The barons of all dynasties are basically extraordinary knights. As adventurers in their bones, they do not lack firm will and extraordinary courage to make breakthroughs. But in the family history of only about 170 years, didn't eight barons change like a revolving door?

Only after awakening the extraordinary energy "vindictiveness" of knights at the "big knight" level, their spirit and body form a certain integration, and their lifespan can be significantly increased. The average life expectancy of the "big knight" can reach 150 years old, and it is not uncommon to pay attention to maintenance and live to 200 years old.

And when the "titled knight" has formed a qualitative change, even the knight path that does not pay attention to lifespan can easily live for hundreds of years, and it is not a joke to sit and watch the rise and fall of a kingdom.

However, seeing the viscount who was obviously old at this time, Aiwen was only a little emotional, and he was still young and thought about those things a little far away.

"Your Majesty, the Viscount, I have a great reputation, and I would also like to thank you for your generous help!"

Ai Wen's words came from the bottom of his heart. Looking back, if he hadn't had the "Huang Hu" and the "recommendation letter" when he joined the army, his road to joining the army might have reached another inflection point. It's really hard to say whether he can achieve his current results.

"It's unnecessary to thank you, it's just a letter of recommendation. If you don't have talent, that letter is just a piece of paper.

About half a year ago, I saw a copy of the Bekele Post. It also has the name of Major 'Ewen Garriott' on it. I thought it was the same name before, but seeing you now, I have no doubts.

Obviously, even without my help, your name will echo in this sea! "

It seemed to be a sigh, but the Viscount seemed to be feeling a little bit like a normal old man at this time. And towards Ivan, who is already the captain of the navy, the Viscount can no longer be as casual as before.

With a slight smile, he did not continue to be modest, and Ai Wen took a sip of the high-quality black tea, at least this was the treatment he had never had when he came here last time.

The confidence brought by his strength and status made him not restrained in the slightest. Even the Viscount, who was rigid, stern, and unreasonable, now took it for granted, as it should be.

boom boom boom

At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door with a slight haste.

The old man frowned slightly, knowing that he was meeting guests and even bothering him, are these guys so unruly? However, you can't get angry in front of your guests.

He yelled with a straight face:

"What's the matter? Come in."

To his surprise, the person who came in after pushing the door was not the staff of the city hall, but his own housekeeper!

"master!"

The butler's clothes were in a mess at this time, which was unimaginable in a noble family that valued etiquette.

After entering the door, although he didn't start to run, he still rushed all the way to the Viscount at the fastest speed. Obviously, some tricky things made him ignore these details.

He even temporarily ignored Ivan, the guest, and whispered in the viscount's ear: "My lord, I just received the news from Tern that our 'Double-tailed Fish' was hijacked by pirates."

Hearing this, the Viscount's hand trembled slightly and knocked over the exquisite tea set at hand, the bright red tea soup was scattered all over the floor, and the face that had been cultivated for decades was instantly broken.

"Are you sure it's the 'Twin Tail Fish'?" His eyes widened suddenly, and the old man's voice was strangely urgent.

"Unmistakably, it was the message from the captain of the Twin Tail before he was captured by pirates.

It's just that there is something strange in the intelligence, even if they resisted, they still caused damage to the pirates.

But the counterattack from the pirates' artillery fire was not fierce, as if they were trying to capture everyone alive, and we don't know what happened afterwards."

The butler didn't dare to hide any details, knowing his master's style of conduct, he never wanted to influence the master's judgment because of his own reasons.

Bang——

The old man slapped the table with his old but still powerful palm.

"Hmph, of course they want to capture the crew alive! Do they want the goods? What they want is my life!

Ok, want to steal and get it!

In order to drive me out of the seat of Wake County Councilor, the fat pig in Westcoll City has completely torn his face! "

Even a rigid old man like the Viscount lost his composure, which made Ivan curious about what was on that ship. After all, based on his knowledge of the old man's wealth, even if he lost a shipment of goods, he wouldn't be in such an almost distraught state.

"Master, what should we do now? Those goods"

The steward rarely saw the master in this state. He knew what was on the ship and knew that the situation was too unfavorable for him, so he asked cautiously.

"Since they have already made a move, it is naturally impossible to give us time to react. Maybe a military patrol ship will "coincidentally" encounter pirates soon, right?

Ships seized from pirates naturally do not need to be protected by noble privileges, and can be searched openly, which directly characterizes the matter from a legal point of view.

And in the end, it can be pushed to the normal patrol inspection of the navy, and you can get rid of yourself. Except for hiring pirates and tipping off the news, there is no loss at all! "

The viscount's eyes shone fiercely like an old wolf. It was a matter of his family's life, so he couldn't help but hesitate for a moment:

"We must take the ship back before the navy finds the cargo. The safest way is to get rid of the pirates together!"

Aiwen next to him listened to the Viscount's troubles with the mentality of a bystander at first. But soon he realized that with the viscount's sophistication, how could he tell such a secret that obviously involved some kind of "contraband" in front of his face?

The following words are clearly for myself!

And unless the other party has the ability to directly bribe the navy to arrange in advance, and "cooperate" with the pirates seamlessly. If you want to say which naval cruiser is the closest in the nearby waters at this time, isn't it your own "Conch"? Looking for someone to deal with the pirates, how can there be a more suitable person than myself?

The old man may have a spare armed merchant ship in his hands, but whether he can catch up with the pirates, and whether he can beat the pirates is another matter. The old fox was clearly out to make himself stand out!

Ai Wen quickly weighed the pros and cons in his heart. Is it necessary for him to intervene in this obviously local power struggle for the sake of the old Viscount?

At this time, there is no Uncle Geer as a life mentor for me, and any decision I make needs to bear the consequences by myself.

The test is also the decisiveness of the captain!

Although I have some personal friendship with the old man, chasing pirates involves a joint operation of more than a hundred people on the entire warship, and I need to be responsible for the lives of the naval command and the crew.

Although there is no need to be too clear between public and private, but

at this time.

The old man saw Aiwen suddenly look up, and the pair of eyes staring directly at him that were almost glowing. For some reason, I suddenly thought of how I was when I was young, when I made my first pot of gold without relying on my family.

There was a sudden chill on the neck.
